The income from profits from ownership and fees for "informal licencing and security provision" with regard to entertainment venues are a very significant part of police income. It is a huge sophisticated operation, with the money distributed up and down the chain of command, rather as prize money was in Nelsons Navy. It would be a brave man who shuts that down, especially as the loyalty and support of the police may be needed in the near future... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the guy is a complete ass, I wonder who told him to do this as I doubt it was his own idea? They should shut down all pubs, bars, nightlife, large busy night markets and I believe restaurants which often serve as bars anyway. I don't think we're ready for quarantines yet but lets see how it turns out. They should also round up all the street hookers repeatedly and maybe implement a curfew just to make sure the whole thing doesn't continue behind closed doors - as we all know it will. This is going to be unpopular but vital if the numbers start to get out of hand. I reckon we have no idea what the real numbers are but this guy will know them! I bet you have stocked up on toilet paper as well 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC1701A Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Chinese capital Beijing to send all international arrivals to quarantine facilities People arriving from abroad had previously been allowed to undergo the mandatory two-week quarantine at home, but now only those in "special circumstances" will be exempted from being sent to facilities where they must pay for their stay, local Communist Party newspaper Beijing Daily reported on Sunday (Mar 15). These visitors will be quarantined for 14 days for observation, a city government official said. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/coronavirus-beijing-quarantine-travellers-china-imported-cases-12539986#.Xm4IMDRpBzw.twitter Edited March 15, 2020 by NCC1701A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the way this virus infection rates seem to explode once it's got a foothold as witnessed in Italy , France , Spain and now on a daily basis the increases are in the hundreds in Britain it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand how Thailand has so few confirmed especially as it's had a toe hold in the country for weeks .. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or enforced Hazmat suits for Farangs? Seriously, I see total world shut down is about to happen. You will not be able to enter or leave any country. A bit late when its already everywhere. Interesting to compare reactions of different nationalities:- The Thais bury their heads in the sand (nothing to see here / ignorance is bliss). While in America, total panic will ensue and a stock market crash like never seen before. Meanwhile the French, predictably..... have already surrendered. prepare for thailand to change sides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been asking people I know on social media if anyone personally knows of anyone who has or had the virus, and the answer so far is zero. How can someone say they have it when they have not been tested. Better to ask what flu like symptoms have you had in recent months. Then you will get the reality of the situation.

Sharp Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Personally i think its infected ,passed on and now the 'herd immunity' is present in many entertainment zones and due to their age etc now nobody is showing signs of sickness as it were remembering its been in Thailand 3-4 months and nothing like Europe/US is being experienced . My issue with closing down the entertainment areas is if all the workers from Bars,Restaurants,discos etc etc go home to their villages where their parents,children and elderly relatives are who have not been exposed then we would see a spike in infections and more deaths due to age and village life style Just my thoughts of course...
